"Theoretically" nothing to worry about. Connection parameters stay the same? presumably some sort of VPN? Then just put it on the net again, and you should see what we call a "SyncQuick", i.e. all data blocks that were modified on the Primary meanwhile will be transfered. Depending on the amount of changed data, this might not be as quick as the name would suggest. If you need to reconfigure the network settings on the Primary, you will probably get a SyncAll instead. In your special case, where you *know* that nothing was changed on the Secondary meanwhile, this can be avoid with manual meta-data manipulationi, ask for details if needed.
